15 Greatest Inventions You Probably Didn’t Know Were Actually Invented By Indians Or In India

Freedom is my birthright. I must haveit.

The problem is not the lack of resources or capability, but the lack of will.

If God is put up with untouchability, I will not call him God.

It may be providence's will that the cause I represent may prosper more by my suffering than by my remaining free.

The geologist takes up the history of the earth at the point where the archaeologist leaves it and carries it further back into remote antiquity.

Religion and practical life are not different. To take sanyas (renunciation) is not to abandon life. The real spirit is to make the country, your family, and work together instead of working only for your own. The step beyond is to serve humanity and the next step is to serve God.

The most practical teaching of the Gita, and one for which it is of abiding interest and value to the men of the world with whom life is a series of struggles is not to give way to any morbid sentimentality when duty demands sternness and the boldness to face terrible things.

If we trace the history of any nation backwards into the past, we come at last to a period of myths and traditions which eventually fade away into impenetrable darkness

Life is all about a card game. Selecting the right card is not in our hand. But playing well with the cards in hand determines our success.

Bal Gangadhar Tilak

I like to think of Tilak as a programmer. He is not too glamourous but he knows how to manage and solve resource constraint problems. He does not think of India as HUGE as it is but he sees it using a modular approach where you need to make progress on an infinitesimal level and that is a real good win too.

Bal Gangadhar Tilak Birth Anniversary: He became the first popular leader of the Indian freedom struggle and is considered as one of the first and strongest advocates of Swaraj during the Britsh Raj.
